Let's take time back to the early 80's Tina Turner’s Sparkly Stage Looks Are Simply The Best
“There are no rules that say you have to dress a certain way, or be a certain way. We are living in exciting times for women,” Tina Turner said in 2009. It’s a mantra the flamboyant music legend has always stuck to.
Hers is a sartorial legacy that shines a little brighter than most. Since she burst onto the music scene in the ’60s, Turner has dazzled her adoring crowds with liberal amounts of sparkle, as much as her energetic performances and powerful vocals. Thigh-skimming hems and twinkling embellishments – usually in her preferred gold – have seen her through six decades, and more recent ensembles prove she has no intention of hanging up her sequins.
Now 81, the star is the subject of a life-spanning documentary, Tina, released on Sky on 28 March. Described as the “ultimate celebration of a global superstar and an intimate portrait of a woman,” it will mix archive and recent interviews alongside stage performances. Could it be Turner’s swan song to showbiz?
At a time when everyone could do with an extra helping of mood-boosting sparkle — British Vogue takes a second look at some of Tina Turner’s most dazzling fashion moments.
